Soul Sistas
For women from Year 9 up to about 40ish, Soul Sistas is for girls who want to have fun. The main annual event is the Soul Sistas weekend camp, which is action-packed with events like The Amazing Race, Pirate Adventure and other fun activities. Soul Sistas provides an opportunity for young women to learn from each other, get to know each other's stories and provide support and love. Contact Tamsyn for more details on Soul Sistas activities.
Soul Sistas Camp 2008
About 35 young and young-ish women from the Canberra and region assemblies recently enjoyed a weekend of fun and fellowship together at the annual 'Soul Sistas' camp in Nowra.
The theme of the camp this year was 'Blessed are the Peacemakers' and we had a great time sharing discussion over the Word of God about various aspects of this topic: Such as the importance of loving yourself and being at peace with yourself so you can be a peace with others; forgiveness and sharing the gospel of peace with others.
Among the many highlights of the weekend was the opportunity to pray for one another and share simple fellowship with like-minded sisters in Christ. We also had a lot of fun - a car rally took us on a scenic tour of the region - with many memorable moments. Our teams had to stop at a certain house (belonging to Tamsyn's in-laws) and then ordered to move 50 bricks and pull up a bucket of weeds! The little interlude at the TREAT factory was a definite highlight! The rally finished at the Tea House looking out over the Shoalhaven region.
The surprise event on Saturday night had us all learning a new skill. we also had some star students... just ask someone who went!!
The weekend culminated in our visit to the Nowra fellowship for the Sunday meeting and a lovely fellowship lunch.
Thank you to EVERYONE who worked so hard to organise this weekend - it was a blessing to all who went and we can't wait till next year!!
